A Nigerian man with a big heart, Jude Idada (pictured below) has narrated his encounter with a Masters degree holder who works as a security guard in Ikeja area of Lagos. After paying for his transport fare and buying him food, the good Samaritan, Jude, also gave the man some money to take care of himself.

The interesting part is that the good Samaritan also told his wealthy friend about the man he met on the bus and how he is struggling to take care of his family with two jobs. His friend transferred N250,000 to the man after speaking with him on the phone.

Read what the good Samaritan Jude shared on Facebook;

These things you can't see just by looking at a person.

In the bus from Sabo, Yaba to Obalende, the man sitting by me kept handling his pockets for the extra money the conductor was requesting for.

He had thought it was 100 naira and was surprised it was 200 naira.

I told him not to bother and paid it.

He was efusive with thanks and no sooner called a woman who was standing by the road with a tray of bread and butter.

100 naira bread.

She asked if he wanted some butter.

He answered in the negative.

I looked at him.

He was staring at the woman with such concentration as she packed up the bread.

He noticed my gaze and turned to me.

There was an apologetic smile on his face.

"Sorry bros, but I never eat since morning."

It was 7.45 p.m.

Already dark.

I smiled, turned to the woman and asked her to butter up the bread.

I called out to another hawker who was passing with a pack of cold drinks.

I turned to him and asked what he wanted.

He was looking at me dumbstruck.

The conductor pounded on the roof of the bus. A signal to the driver that it was time to move.

The driver engaged the gear and was about to move, it was as though the slight jerk of the boss awakened the man.

He hollered.

"Duro!"

The driver stopped.

"Kilon shele?"

"Mo fe ra onje."

"Shey kia!"

He turned to me.

"Coke."

I bought two bottles of coke and paid for the bread.

The bus hurtled away towards Obalende.

And he told me a tale of woe.

Masters degree holder but working as a security guard in Ikeja.

Resuming today as a security guard in VI for the night shift.

2 jobs.

A wife and a kid.

I listened.

We got to Obalende.

Gave him some more money.

Stopped him from kneeling down in the bus park in gratitude.

Exchanged numbers and bade him farewell.

From there I headed to the Japanese restaurant Shiro in VI for dinner with my very wealthy friend.

And I told him of my decision to travel Lagos by bus for a week and more to meet the 'real' Lagosians.

He was intrigued.

Then I told him of the man I had just met on my way from Yaba.

And he was moved.

So moved that he had me call him and he spoke with him.

After which he collected his bank details and right in my presence, he transferred 250k to the man.

My eyes are misty.

In this city there are demons and there are angels.

I am happy that my friend proved to be the latter.

And a life was touched.

Lagos.

To the giver, God bless you. May your never lack.
Many thanks for putting a smile on our faces

N250,000 is not the same as the 700,000 immediate jobs and 3,000,000 annual jobs promised since 2015 by Buhari and APC?
Buhari is a monumental error of gargantuan proportions that must be corrected in 2019.

Wia re dey recruiting for d post?

Gotta dust did fvking c.v

Must you tell us? .... But these professional beggers have made me turn deaf ears to them.. By the way what evidence do u have that he's either a masters degrees holder or a security guard? I don't even trust that u helped him or ur friend wired money cause people can do the unimaginable just to trend online..but honestly Nigerians have good heart

Hmmmm

Msc in Nigeria is over rated...

Formal education in Nigeria has failed us! Our institutions should be overhauled. We need practical focused institutions so we don't go looking for jobs after. Federal government pls have common sense.

God bless you man...

Please sir how do I start this business. mb sales sir

Im moved by this act of generosity.

Now this is a real good samaritan. Helped the guy without taking pictures and even sharing his story with a friend who probably didnt see his picture but called to transfer some cash.

I pray for this grace every morning to be able to move around the street helping people in dare need. God help me to be a blessing to others.

Omo, guys dey suffer for this country. Suffering is real, poverty is the worst sickness.
